Discover the people, purpose, and passion driving Yarkiy’s mission to brighten skincare for Indian skin.

Yarkiy began with a personal journey—one shaped not in a laboratory, but through years spent navigating demanding environments as a Petroleum Engineer. Amid all the tough conditions of oil rigs and offshore platforms, my most persistent struggle was far more personal: relentless acne and skin concerns that weighed on my confidence despite countless remedies and treatments.

This journey wasn’t mine alone—it brought together a team of friends and family united by deep expertise in clinical aesthetics and operations. Together, we saw the gap in skincare for Indian skin: mass-market products that didn’t understand our climates, diversity, or unique needs.

So we set out to create something different. Drawing inspiration from our backgrounds, we searched for a name that captured our mission and spirit. That led us to Yarkiy, meaning “bright”—a word that stands for both a radiant personality and the healthy glow of confidence. It’s a name that embodies our belief in resilience, authenticity, and elevating beauty from within.

While I’m the face you see, Yarkiy exists because of the strength of an extraordinary team. Every product, every innovation, springs from the combined expertise and passion of our close-knit founding group: a Clinical Aesthetics expert whose insight brings real results to Indian skin, an Operations Strategist who keeps every process running smoothly, and a Financial Steward ensuring we remain strong and nimble. Although their names stay out of the spotlight, their presence is reflected in every formula, every decision, every detail that defines us.

Two years of relentless research followed. Every ingredient we use is handpicked and thoughtfully formulated for sensitive, acne-prone, oily, or resilient skin—always with the needs of Indian skin at heart.

Yarkiy is not a solo journey—it's a coming together of minds and skills as diverse as those we serve. Every bottle reflects countless hours and unique experiences, united by a shared vision to elevate skincare for all.

So when you experience Yarkiy, know it’s not just my story—it’s the culmination of our team’s dedication and belief in a brighter, more inclusive future for skincare.

Our promise: We’re committed to visible results with transparency, integrity, and deep understanding of what Indian skin truly needs. Welcome to Yarkiy—where you can wear your story, and your brightest self, every day.

At Yarkiy, every product carries our passion and purpose. I invite you to be a part of this community that celebrates resilience and radiance. Thank you for trusting us with your skin and story.

With gratitude,
Akshat Govil, Founder
